Tuesday´s Five | Los cinco del martes

After Sunday’s game where Chivas USA kicked off their 10th and final Major League Soccer season with a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Fire, we decided to highlight five of our favorite moments from the Red-and-White's season opener. Check them out and let us know if you agree!

5- Chivas soccer is back!

The Red-and-White kicked off their season in the StubHub Center after more than four months from their last MLS game against the Portland Timbers in October; and what a better way to start the season than with a win that the entire United States watchedon UniMas.

4- Captain America makes an entrance

During halftime, the first Avenger, Captain America, flew over the StubHub Center surprising fans and spectators. Captain America flew into the stadium with an American Flag parachute and landed on the field. Upon landing, he was shortly joined by Chivas USA's official mascot, the ChivaFighter, and the two then greeted the crowd and wished good luck to Chivas USA in their first home game of the 2014 season.

Sunday’s game was the first MLS game for Chivas USA under Head Coach Wilmer Cabrera, and what a better way to start his career than winning at home with a solid offensive line and a cohesive team on the field. After joining Chivas USA in January, Cabrera and his coaching staff worked very closely with the team over preseason to restructure and create a unique combination of experienced and veteran players with young players, and the results have been positive for Cabrera so far.

2- Thomas McNamara debuted with a goal.

A dream debut was what Thomas McNamara had on Sunday, not only for being a part of the starting eleven against Chicago, but also for having the opportunity to score and kick off a promising professional career on the right foot. The 2014 MLS SuperDraft pick pushed the ball in off a cross from the left sideline by newcomer Leandro Barrera, giving Chivas USA the 2-0 lead by the 59th minute.

“It was a dream come true, especially getting the win as well in a dramatic fashion like that,” McNamara said after the game. “It was just an awesome experience, something that I’ll never forget.

1- Goals? or Golazos?

The three goals scored by Chivas USA were not simply a push of the ball to cross the white line, they were "golazos". Here are the reasons why.

Cubos PK

After Erick Torres was taken down from behind inside the box, the 21-year-old forward lined up and drilled his shot past Sean Johnson’s left to give the Rojiblancos the 1-0 advantage. Cubo not only tricked Johnson by shooting to the opposite side of his intended jump, but also he placed a fast and accurate ball close to the corner to pick up where last season’s club Golden Boot Award-winner left off.

The Goats doubled their lead when midfielder Leandro Barrera sent a low cross from the left sideline to a cutting McNamara, who was on a fighting run to intercept the cross with defender Dilly Duka. However, the rookie one-timed his shot inside the left post surprising Johnson and giving a 2-0 lead to Chivas USA.

Where did that header come from?

After missing a first try on a set piece at the 76th minute when Mauro Rosales crossed a ball and defender Bobby Burling came from behind to head the ball and send it a couple of feet away from the right post, Burling had a second chance at the 88-minute mark and this time he nailed it. Rosales played a corner kick from the right and the 6-foot-4 center back sliced through the defense to power it in from the edge of the six-yard box, giving the Red-and-White the dramatic, last-minute victory.
